Selective Discovery Filter
The selective discovery filter allows you to filter the devices that are passed from HP SIM to HP
Storage Essentials for discovery operations. The filter is a file that contains a list of IP addresses that
should (or should not) be passed to HP Storage Essentials. The filter does not affect device discovery
operations in HP SIM, it only restricts the data that is passed from HP SIM to HP Storage Essentials.
The filter examines each device HP SIM discovers before passing the discovery information to HP
Storage Essentials. In the case of multi-homed devices, the filter operation uses all reported IP
addresses for a given device in deciding whether or not to pass data to HP Storage Essentials.
The selective discovery filter file is called SEDiscoveryFilterList (with no file extension). The
file resides in:
• <HP SIM install directory>/config on Windows
• /etc/opt/mx/config on Linux
A sample file called SEDiscoveryFilterList.sample is available.
